Pros: Some really great stunts and car chases Cons: The movie doesnt age very well.
I lament the death of the car chase in Hollywood movies these days. I miss the days before computer generated antics, where real live stuntmen did real live dangerous driving with overpowered muscle cars. Case in point - compare the truck chase from ...
Pros: Atmosphere of desperation with interesting ending; use of the soundtrack; it's just a cool movie Cons: maybe a little too nondescript and ethereal for some viewers
1971's Vanishing Point may look at first glance to be the run of the mill car chase flick. Following in the footsteps of the juvenile delinquent films of the 1950s and 60s, by the 1970s, the car chase flick really had come into its own and gained ...
Pros: Cool cars. Cons: A bit more 'abstract' than your average Cannonball Run flick.
Vanishing Point is a car-race flick, at least on the surface. Underneath (buried not too deeply) is a moody and sly commentary on modern man’s gradual domestication in a confusingly eclectic society. At least I think that’s what it’s about....
The first time watching this movie was in the early summer of 1971 when I was just about to go into the sixth grade. I really enjoyed watching this movie and I do have to say this; This is one of the best car chase movie of that era.
Pros: The fantastic cinematography; the 'cool-guy's-last-stand' anti-establishment poetry Cons: Cleavon Little's annoying character; some of the later music not up to par
I wasn't expecting much from this film but I was very pleasantly surprised. No wonder the Wachowski brothers mention this film as a favorite in their commentary for "Bound," in which they cast Richard Sarafian, the director of "Vanishing Point," (who is...
Pros: Gorgeous in high def, a premium slice of American counterculture Cons: Definitely a way left of center movie if that bothers you
Vanishing Point. The very name calls for a high definition, wide-screen viewing experience. I haven't seen this movie in almost 40 years. I held my breath THAT LONG for the Blu-Ray release of Vanishing Point. (And also because I couldn't find the ...
Pros: Nice car chase but silly. Cons: Stupid movie.
This film was made in 1971. I'm giving away the entire plot of the movies so be forewarned.I saw it on Turner Classic Movies. Apparently this is the result of a bet that someone can deliver a car in 15 hours across 4 states. It ...
Pros: Action filled for Hot Rodders Cons: 1971 Cinematography
I first saw Vanishing Point in 1971 when I was 9 yrs. old. It had just been released at the drive-ins (remember them?) and was showing at the one my dad was doing the 4th July fireworks display. As a 9-yr old., I did not understand the movie, and did...
Pros: good action, good atmosphere and a sense of personal pilgrimage Cons: some hokey seventies preachy moments
As viewed at the time of it's release I was impressed with the reductionistic power of this counter-cultural film. In a surrealistic welding of action and metaphysical themes this film embodies the disenfranchised loner on a path to self destruction. As...
Pros: Shows classic muscle car performance Cons: Shows suicide as a "way out"
Although rather hard to follow at the very beginning, you quickly become absorbed in one of the best action flicks made to date. There is very little talk in the beginning, but just as you think you are going to lose interest, it's on with another...
Pros: Great car chase movie with likable characters Cons: You would like to learn more about characters
It's hard to believe that a movie with a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T could be so great! VP has very little dialogue, but the movie had meaning that differs depending on the person you speak with. It had substance! Kowalski (lead character) was so...
Thrills, spills...and a handful of pills. It all adds up to one of the most spectacular car chases in motion picture history! Barry Newman stars as Ko...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
